Can we please get the ability to rename BPs from our nano/containers so that we can organize without deploying?

My argument is merely this. Call the packs what they are. Don’t portray them as a thank you to those who supported the game through beta. It’s marketing play that is merely a ploy to draw more subs.  The biggest problem that has happened through my tenure in this game is not being upfront and honest with the community. Eventually, people will give up if they can’t get honest from the company. 

While I understand the idea of fairness to those starting the game for the first time on launch I disagree with the packages being labeled as a thank you to those who have contributed to the game over beta and prior. They are all merely accelerators to those people who wish to pay the cost of subscription for 3-13 months.
 
if you truly want to thank those who have contributed to the game development the reward needs to be something that somebody signing up for the first time on the day before launch can’t get.
 
There are two ways that this glaring absurd play on words can be remedied.
 
1) Call the packages what they are: Accelerators for those who want to front the cost of subscription 
2) Actually thank the beta and alpha people in the community that actually pulled money out of their wallets believing in this game, by providing them with something that others won’t get.
 
I love this game, but we are not children.
 
A brand new player who signs up for 13 months, 1 day before launch, is gonna get the same “reward” as those that have already put time in.

I’m also referencing players who paid subs during beta. Like I have an account I’ve subbed since day 1 beta and he will get the same as a new player subbing 1 day before launch for 13 months. Then I also have to sub that character to actually get the same rewards. So my main will in effect pay for a minimum of 30 months to get what a new player paid 13 months for. 

Offer rewards, and still don't know if we will keep them???  Makes sense.  I see tons of people setting this up prior to a wipe decision...

I don’t really care which route you take at this point. We need an answer rather than you dangling a carrot in front of us for months on end. One of the biggest problems that led to your “we heard you” tag line was lack of effective communication. You aren’t living up to that tag line. If you hear us, you would realize we aren’t a bunch of toddlers you can string along with promises of candies and rainbows. A lot of us have invested a lot of time and money into the progression of this game, we are your customers, and we will be the lifeblood of this game via our continued monetized contribution to this game beyond launch.
 
Now, I will stay regardless as I love this game but I do believe that those who contributed to the progression and development of this game through pushing its limits, testing its functions and providing inputs to your team deserve a “reward” for that time and effort. Personally, if there is a wipe, I just want the talent points I’ve acquired during my time as it directly reflects the time I’ve spent. But that is just my opinion.
 
What I truly want to see is an answer to the most pressing question that your customers have, as it will directly contribute to the direction they take between now and launch. Don’t make the mistake of dangling carrots, people will eventually give up on you and move on which will definitely damage the chances of this game succeeding. 
 
Thank you for bringing it this far, hopefully we can continue down the path of a great game. 

Black text on a black background is a great evil to me...  (edit: thanks for fixing)
 
I don't know about this specific drama, but I do find it sad that there are issues with the community not being polite...for a "mature" community of mostly older gamers, there's a lot of childish behavior. 
 

The asteroid spawning is entirely automated. It got interrupted by a situation which was supposedly impossible but is not. We will sneak in a patch at next minor release to prevent this from happening again. Meanwhile this was manually fixed and asteroids are spawning again, yay.

I would like to see a stretching tool for the defined shapes. Example, take a sphere and pull a side out to a point. Of course doing it in such a way that the end result comes out smooth. Definitely would have helped with my current project. 

Oh. I definitely agree with the rotation too. We can rotate a ship freely, why not voxels.
